Pike Fold Golf Club
Played On 10/04/2023Wet but still enjoyable
Have played the course several times and it’s always a pleasure. Given recent weather conditions the course was wet underfoot in various places, but the overall condition was still good, the greens were in great nick and it was good to see maintenance work being done.
Pike Fold is a little known gem, and a course we will continue to return to next year.
Malkins Bank Golf Club
Played On 04/12/2023Great condition for the time of year
The weather forecast was not great, consequently the course was pretty empty. As it happened, we only got wet for 10 minutes! The greens were running better than several other courses, and although it was inevitable that parts were wet, in general the course was in good nick. Our two ball got round in 3 hours 15 minutes, value for money cannot be faulted.
Hart Common Golf Club - Main Course
Played On 04/06/2023Another promising year beckons at Hart Common
One of our favourite courses in recent years. First visit this year and it's clear that a lot of work had been done over the winter months to improve the condition, with a new tee being built on the 3rd and drainage being upgraded. Yes, it was still wet in places but given recent heavy rain, hardly a surprise. The greens are still a bit bobbly but again, it's early April.
Challenging but enjoyable, great value, very friendly staff and members, we will certainly be back.
Alderley Edge Golf Club
Played On 03/15/2023Interesting course but sadly too wet
We played on a dry day but after several days of rain, and in truth we felt the course should have been closed. As such, we stopped after 9 holes, as the temporary greens were also not ideal - although we fully understand why they were in use.
That said, the layout is really interesting and we will definitely be back once the weather improves. Everyone we met was friendly, and the Club had a nice feel to it. I'm sure my next review will be more favourable.
Hart Common Golf Club - Main Course
Played On 05/11/2022Excellent condition
We have played the course a number of times in recent years and it remains one of my favourite courses. Compared to a number of courses we've played this year, the course and particularly the greens are in great condition and we fully expect to be back soon. Great value for money!
Marple Golf Club
Played On 04/06/2022First time visit - very likely to return
We played on a day when the weather forecast was pretty poor, and for the first 4 holes we did get quite wet, after which the conditions improved. As a result, there was virtually no-one else on the course, so we didn't have to wait on a single shot.
Although the course was quite wet in parts and there were a few temporary greens (which we were told about by the helpful lady in the shop), it was evident that the course is being well maintained, and I would expect it to be in great condition after some drier weather. Relatively short with a par 68, there are some testing holes and interest on most.
Overall, a really positive experience despite the rain, and I would expect we will be back later this year.
Turton Golf Club
Played On 06/21/2022What a wonderful experience!
I read reviews about the views around the course but it’s impossible to exaggerate what a great experience it is, just as a “tourist”.
As a golf course, a hidden gem. Not too long, full of variety, well manicured with the best greens we’ve played this year.
I can’t wait to play here again.
New Mills Golf Club
Played On 04/21/2021Good test, great condition, fantastic location
Really enjoyed this course.Unusually 6 par-3's, varying from 90 yards to 200+, and the 4 of us enjoyed it so much we want to play again next week. First 9 is more demanding than the second 9 which is more parkland in quality, greens are running well and consistent. Great experience.
Hart Common Golf Club - Main Course
Played On 04/07/2021Great condition for the time of year....tremendous value
Played here last summer in a heatwave. Snow in the air this time. We thought the course was in great condition given the time of year and recent weather, very few muddy areas, fairways looking well manicured, greens quick and true. The last week or two have clearly dried the course out, can't wait to play again over the coming months . Credit to the greenkeepers, this is a gem.
Prestwich Golf Club
Played On 10/28/2020Thoroughly enjoyable experience
Played lots of good courses this year, but none quite like Prestwich. A par of 68 is and I can’t recall a par 3 being SI 1 anywhere else, but this is a nice test of skill rather than brute force.
First time here so impossible to say whether the redesign is an improvement, and it needs to bed in next year. However, the greens are in good condition, the course is standing up well to wet weather, and I can only see this being a great course to play in 2021.
Thoroughly enjoyed it: will be back.
Macclesfield Golf Club
Played On 10/14/2020Hidden gem in excellent condition
Played here on a lovely autumn day and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've played several courses new to me this year, and these greens were by far the best. In fact, the course as a whole was in great nick.
Although we had little interaction with staff and members, it feels like a friendly place and somewhere in keen to revisit. Not too long, the main challenge is the gradient on some of the holes, so a degree of fitness is required. However, the views are spectacular as a result.
Looking forward to returning.
Heaton Moor Golf Club
Played On 07/27/2020Enjoyable despite the deluge!
Just 7 miles from home and yet we'd never heard of it, Heaton Moor turned out to be a little gem of a course. Although it rained hard at times, and there was standing water on some greens, they remained playable throughout. Premium on accuracy rather than length, pretty flat but still with interesting and challenging holes. What could be described as a course which suits the more mature player, but what's wrong with that?!
Can't really comment on off course elements given Covid issues, but we plan to return on a more sunny day when we can better appreciate the whole package.
Buxton & High Peak Golf Club
Played On 06/17/2020Challenging, interesting test in excellent condition
Our 2nd round in 3 weeks, initial positive impression confirmed second time around. There are some holes which evoke seaside links golf, some more parkland oriented, and varied par 3'a which present different challenges. Greens are in good condition given current virus circumstances, fairways well tended and defined. We will definitely be back.
Heyrose Golf Club
Played On 06/03/2020Great condition, good test
Given recent events, we found the course in great condition with greens running consistently and true. Testing in terms of distance, but it's fair and rewards driving the ball into the right places. Obviously didn't really experience the off course aspect, but members we spoke to were friendly. Overall, we will definitely play here again
